SAN ANTONIO, Ten, July "A. c.
Schryver, of the firm of Martin &
Schryver, who are interested in the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass Road to the
extent of about one tenth of the entire
stock, enters an emphatic denial to the
New York rumor that the road has been
sold to Boston parties for the Atchison,
Topeka ana Santa Fe people. Though
President Lott is now absent
in New York negotiating the
sale OF bonds, SChryver says
he is in a position to know what ne is
talking about and therefore denies it. He
further says that while the road is now
operating with the SAINTS Fe in through
traffic the connection having been made
this week at Wallis, there has not been
and is no desire to sell out.

The East Line from Mckinney to Fort

our city and for the old reliable Missouri
Psciuc. II would be in accord with the
eternal fitness Of things. 1t is under
S ID from high Missouri Pacific sources
that a move in this direction will soon
be made. When that extension from
Taylor TO Houston is completed, Fort
Worth will have another mighty line line

TO be the shortest line between Calves

have been too much. Milk was also
quite unsuitable, being more difficult

than even solid food Yet for the
| first few days it seemed as though the
unfortunate man was recovering. He
regained flesh and strength, becoming
also cheerful, and his mind recovering
some degree of steadiness. On the
fifth day he showed signs of restless
ness. On the morning of the sixth he
lost all recollection, and before mid
night he was delirious and unmanage-
able. Hispulse increased in frequency,
his skin became hot and dry, and his
whole frame was shaken by constant
tremors. He remained in this state till
the eleventh day, emaciation increas-
ing and his pulse growing constantly
weaker and more rapid, until at last it
had been to one hundred and twenty
beats in the minute, On the eleventh
day, the seventy-second from the COM
mencement of his self-imposed fast, the
poor fellow died, having by this time
fallen into a state of utter prostration.
Nothing that Tanner, Succi or Mer-
latti has done in the way of fasting has
thrown so much light on the power of
the human frame to resist the effects of
total abstinence from food as these two
cases. set on one side for the mo-

whatever it may be, is able to help the
body to resist the effects of fasting in
such degree that not only life but

sistance opposed by simple vitality to

Tor sixty days, or longer. The young
man who tasted sixty-one days and re-

ever tried the experiment of fasting

The Lavish Hospitality Practiced Under
the jackson and Van Buren, Regimes.
Andrew jackson entertained lavishly
on the night of his first Inauguration.
The carpets of the Gust room were
ruined by the orange punch and lem
onade which were served to the crowd
which came to his reception. Barrels
of this punch were made, and it was
brought into the room in buckets. AT
last the people began TO rush for the
walters as soon as they entered the
room. Glasses were broken and ladies'
dresses ruined. Tubs of punch were
finally taken into the garden, and in
this way the throng was drawn off and
it was possible to serve cake and wine
to the ladies.
At Jackson's farewell reception a
monster cheese, as big as hogshead
in circumference and nearly yard
thick, was cut with saw-bladcs made
into knives and served out to the guests.
Each guest received three pounds of
cheese. The event was the talk of the
nation, and when Van Buren, became

cheese. 1t was cut up in the east
room. The greasy crumbs falling upon
the carpet were tramp,cd into it, and
the ruination of the furniture during
those two administrations led the
later Presidents to discontinue the
practice OF serving eatables at general
receptions. Now no guest comes to
dinner at the White House unless in
vted. In Van Buren's day, Bacourt.
in his "Souvenirs dun Diplomat says
that the Presidents cook told his valet
that for several months preceding the
election OF 1910 many persons arrived
at the White House for breakfast or
dinner, and threatened to vote against
Van Buren, if they were not enter
tanned. The cook stated that he had
all the trouble possible in satisfying
them, and they often returned what he
sent up, doing 50 on the pretext that
it was uneatable, and ordered some
thing else -Lippiacotfs Magazine.

LOVES TOKENS,

II you take an apple and pare it thin,
Without break in the ribboned skin,
You may twirl the perfect pairing around
And note how 1t falls on the floor OF ground.
1t ought to fall, II the sign is true,
So that letter shall shape for you;
And the letter it forms will be the same
As that which stands for the loved ones name
Or, II you look for another door
To the tender secret-talxe the core,
And count the seeds that are hidden there:
They will spell the same, with none to spare.
Or, pick daisy. Who has forgot
The test: "He loves me--he loves me notr'
And, when its disk is gone around,
The lover or sweetheart is lost or found.
There were many more in our early days,
Mingled with childhood's artless plays;
Twas pleasant to think with what sweet strife
We could settle the problem of husband and
wife.
But when to older years we grow,
We have no royal way to know.
We doubt and ponder, we hope and guess,
Then put the question for mo" or Eyes"

THE HELlOTROPE.
Jussiou's Discovery of the Sweet, But Un-

Jussious Discovery of the Sweet, But Un-
pretentious, Little Flower.
One day the botanist Jussieu was
herborizing on the Cordilleras, when
he suddenly found himself inebriated
by the most delicious perfume. He
looked around, expecting to discover
some splendid flower, but perceived
nothing but some pretty clumps of a
gentle green, from the bottom of which
little capsules of faded blue color were
detaching themselves He observed
that the flowers turned toward the sun,
and he therefore gave it the name of
heliotrope. Charmed with his acauisi-
ton, he collected some of the seeds and
sent them to the Jardin du Roi. The
French ladies were charmed with it,
and made of it floral pet They
placed it in costly vases and christened
it the flower of love. From thence it
soon spread to other parts of the world,
and has everywhere been greatly ad-
mired. Ono day very charming
woman, who dotted passionately on the
heliotrope, was asked what she could
see in this dull and somber-lookinp
plant to justify so much admiration.
"Bccause, she replied. "thc hello
trope perfume is to my parterre what
the soul is to beauty, refinement to
love. and love to youth. ~ Viek's Mag

Appetizing Flavors.

Some odd combinations in flavor have
been the result of experiment Nearly
every good housekeePer knows that
tomato catsup is greatly improved by
throwing into the boiling pulp good
handful of peach leaves. A leaf of
lemon-scented verbena is equal to pecoe
blossoms if put into cup of fragrant
Oolong tea. The flavor of black
birch is very agreeable in chocolate
with which it harmonizes more finely
than vanilla, and which any one can
try by dipping checkerberry loxenge
or two into her morning cup for
sweetening. The old Virginia epicure
never thinks his gumbo soup complete
unless sassafras leaves are added. The
muscatine or frost grape, gives the
finest bouquet to all sorts of creams,
jellies and sauces, and the sharp cider
jelly, which is comparatively new
jelly, is being preferred by many to
either cranberry or currant jelly for
roast turkey and venison. = Detroit
